Founding Mothers Dedication Wall at Bluffton Hospital
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 29, 2018 - 2:22pm
In recognition of Mother’s Day, the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation provides an opportunity in the Bluffton community to honor or remember a mother. You may recognize her as a “Founding Mother.”
A recognition wall is located outside the hospital maternity area at The Women’s Center of Bluffton Hospital.
This wall features “Founding Mothers” acknowledged by friends and family members.
“We have a good story to tell,” said Scott Malaney, president and CEO of Blanchard Valley Health Systems.
Bluffton Hospital, as part of the BVHS, is part of that “good story.”
IBM Watson Health TM recently named Blanchard Valley Hospital one of the 100 Top Hospitals. This is the sixth time Blanchard Valley Hospital received this recognition.
While Bluffton was not part of this national study, the implications are positive for Bluffton.

Blanchard Valley Hospital (BVH) has once again been named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals by IBM Watson HealthTM. This is the sixth time the organization has been recognized with this honor. BVHS received this distinction in 2005, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017 and now in 2018.
Formerly known as the Truven Health Analytics 100 Top Hospitals, this study spotlights the top-performing hospitals in the United States based on a balanced scorecard of publicly available clinical, operational and patient satisfaction metrics and data.

Heminger HeartCare has a “door to balloon” time of 56 minutes. The national average is 60 minutes. This means it takes 56 minutes or less for the team at Blanchard Valley Hospital to re-establish blood flow to the heart muscle.
